To "foggywizard": Well, I installed the folder "Aloy Adjustments" on my drive with Steam\HZD. I created a shortcut for the .exe onto my desktop. IT WORKED!!! I can now run "Aloy Adjustments", it does in fact see the game and has a bunch of entry's for me to look at. The new problem is, how do I use it and on what? I have a number of mods already and I have a nude body mod installed in the game folder. AA doesn't see that stuff though, that I can see.

That sounds like it's just accessing the original game. Not the remaster. They are two entirely different games to begin with. Do you have both versions of the game installed? Because you shouldn't. They don't share game files, so there's no point to having both. And I can confirm that Aloy's Adjustments does not detect the remaster at all. I did run Aloy's Adjustments on HZD back in the day. There's neither autodetection for the remaster, nor does manually choosing the remaster folder as the game folder give access to the files within. Because the way you'd access those files is different. You can pull up Horizon Zero Dawn\Packed_DX12 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered\LocalCacheDX12\Packages to see the difference. Even the filepath is different. There is no Packed_DX12 in HZDR to begin with, which is where you'd have installed any og HZD mods. Including the Patch_AloysAdjustments.bin file. Additionally... AA wouldn't see your other mods. That's not how that program works. You just configure your settings, have it generate the patch, and go

TLDR: You have both games installed. Of course the program is bound to work on the one it works on. It will not work for the Remaster because you're essentially trying to install Morrowind mods into Oblivion and expecting it to work.

For example, Skyrim got a remaster replacing the original game, but there weren't really any workers to pay if I remember correctly, tell me if I'm wrong: it was just the publisher who validated mods made by volunteers, and finalized the integration, thus yes it took a few hours to do that, but it decided to offer that and include this in the initial compatibility. It's its choice.

Just saw this and No, your remember it wrong. The "Special Edition" transferred the game from it's original 32Bit engine to the much newer 64Bit version used in Fallout 4. They also upgraded and improved some graphics and other details. But not that much. It's a really big improvement if you use a lot of mods, because the switch to 64Bit solved many memory issues the old version had.

However, it's not nearly as impressive as this Zero Dawn remaster.
On the other hand anyone who had the original Skyrim, including all DLCs, automatically got the Special Edition for free.

The Skyrim version you think of is the "Anniversary Edition" that later bundled the Special Edition with a large number of verified mods. Most of these mods came from Steam Workshop and many of them are not free.

It's not a bug. The remaster by itself sells for $50. The cheap upgrade is available for those of us that owned the complete edition.

It is mostly a graphics "upgrade."
Its bad they are charging money for a graphics upgrade.

It's more than just a graphics upgrade. They added many hours of new motion capture for cutscenes, they added a lot of accessibility features from Forbidden West, they added gyro aiming for controllers with motion sensors, and the list goes on.

Indeed @Mav99, I was talking about what I received as an update, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, even if Bethesda decided to offer it.

ChatGPT says:

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" is a remastered version of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," an open-world role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Originally released in November 2011, the game was praised for its gameplay, vast world, and freedom of exploration.

Community Contributions and Mods

- Community Modding: One of the reasons "Skyrim" is so popular is its vibrant modding scene. The community has created thousands of mods that enhance various aspects of the game, ranging from graphics to quests and gameplay mechanics. Platforms like Nexus Mods have become essential resources for players looking to customize their experience.

- Models and Textures: Many mods improve the textures, character models, and environments, significantly increasing the visual quality of the game.

- Quests and Narratives: Modders have also added new quests, characters, and stories, enriching the narrative experience of the original game.

- Gameplay Enhancements: Some mods add or modify gameplay mechanics, such as improved combat systems, additional dialogue choices, or expanded crafting systems.

Work Required by the Publisher

To create "Skyrim Special Edition," Bethesda had to:

- Optimize the Graphics Engine: The remastering required graphical improvements to leverage the capabilities of modern consoles and PCs, including high-resolution textures and enhanced visual effects.

- Integrate Mods: The Special Edition integrated mod support directly into the game, allowing players to easily download and install mods through Bethesda's mod management system.

- Bug Fixes and Updates: Patches were applied to address issues identified in the original version, improving the game's stability and performance.

- Development of Additional Content: Although the Special Edition primarily focuses on the original game and its DLCs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn), adjustments were made to ensure a smooth experience.

In summary, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" is the result of considerable work by Bethesda, supported by a community of passionate modders who have continuously enriched and expanded the gaming experience since its initial release. The combination of these efforts has helped maintain interest and popularity in "Skyrim" over the years.

Just ran the "Remastered" version, you can import the saves from the original version. The bundle is an add-on , very much like DLC. My above questions still stand though. Could use some advice on those.
Wait you can do that

You can import saves, yes. Brian is, however very, very incorrect about the Remastered version being an add-on. It's not DLC at all. It's a separate game with a separate install folder altogether. You're just buying two games at once.

No lol.

Listen, im not a big fan of the direction GG went with the sequel, but as far as remasters go this one is pretty big. Even if you haven't played the original in years, you'll see a difference.

They recorded new audio so Alloy seemed more like HFW, and added some to either add lore or more depth.

The graphics are easily one of the best out there, I stop to look around everywhere I go just to appreciate it. It was worth the money to play through what is a far better remaster than %90 of the garbage out there.
brianmuellson 4 NOV 2024 a las 19:10 
Yes, I am wrong about it being an add-on, it's a totally separate game, upon further investigation that is.

Should have been released as optional free DLC. Oh well, it is what it is. I doubt medislike of this will change anything.
Everyone seems to want everything for free these days. They do bug fixes on the old one. If they do it properly, that depends on a personal view.
They did upgrade graphics, re-modelled dialogues and other other stuff. This is not a fix, but an UPGRADE. You want an upgrade - you pay.
For what they did, at a first impression, 10 $, $ or whatever is little pocket money.
And .... if you don't want better graphics, stay with the original.
did we learn our lessons we want everything for free look what happened to all of your favorite games Battlefield Halo Call of Duty you can't just go buy the content anymore like DLC you have to spend so much more money now but you get a bunch of content for free

Once you buy it, your game goes from Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition to Horizon Zero Dawn: Remastered.

This is a Graphics Upgrade, it changes mostly everything graphic related to be as close as possible with forbidden West while keeping the most annoying graphic oversights from the original, such as Aloy feed always raising little rocks as she walks as if she's a dinossaur and her spear still simply vanishing from her back.

Besids that, it's an upgrade that you have to decide if it's worth or not, I'll list here what the update changes from original, what makes "better" is relative though:

- The Upgrade changes the entire environment, lighting and color of areas. Some areas are more yellow than red, some vegetation lost the red hue they had for the bright green hue from Forbidden West and so on. It feels the team focused on making vegetation exactly like Forbidden West, making some of the (if not all of) Art Direction to be completelly lost. The game looks incredible though.
- For now, the game looks and feels more responsive, remember how this game was buggy and slow and all of that? That has vanished for me and I own a GTX1060, so they did something right, but we'lll see once I get to Meridian.
- They have added more graphics related settings, and the whole setting menus is now like FW too.
- There's more lipsync, so NPC cutscenes that are not important, looks less stiff.
- ANY 3Dmodel that could have been borrowed from Forbidden West, was borrowed from Forbidden West.
- There are some very welcome changes though to the acessibility of the game:
1 - The game is now compatible with motion aim, if you own a DS4 or a DS5 controller, you can enable that to finetune your aim with motion controls.
2 - The game has the same Explorer / Guided features of Forbidden West. Guided is the original experience, while Explorer gives you less stuff on the screen.
3 - There's also advanced settings that remove all HUD elements if you want.
4 - There's this neat feature kinda hidden in the Explorer settings where you can make items such as rock, plants and all of the icons for grabbing those items to ONLY appear once you enter Focus mode, once you exit, all icons will disappear in 3 seconds, so it's essentially the same as the PULSE from FW but faster since entering Focus mode is faster in the original.
5 - There ARE new weapons as far as I know in the game but I didn't get any of them.
-Water looks waaaaaay better now.
- It SEEMS the game loads way faster now and it also runs smoother somewhow.

Overall this is a "Good" upgrade if you enjoy how Forbidden West looks. but it does ignore some of the art-design and art-direction of the original, as any Remaster version of a game does. It feels like they just fired the art direction team of the original, and went with someone else. That's not bad, but in comparisons on youtube you can SEE that certain places have drastically changed its appearance.

There's also the minor things that were never fixed: Rocks jumping around as you walk, spear missing from your back, you can still spam arrows and do full damage making the whole hold and shoot feature useless, I don't know if those will ever be fixed.

Needed upgrade? I don't think so.
But I can't deny that it gives a breath of fresh air to the game. What I do NOT like about it:
It's not a DLC.
It's literally a command on Steam that removes the original game from your library and replaces with this new one, meaning it's not possible to disable. It's not an expansion DLC that adds 4K resolution, it's a new Game. And considering the game loads faster on my NVME, I believe it woudln't have achieved this level of quality without reworking the game from the ground, but at the same time: Why not ffix the smaller things? Running and walking around such beautiful places, and having those small things happening are very distressing for me, since they aimed for ForbiddenWest graphical leap, then at the very least they should have given these little issues some love too.

Oh, you DO need to log in on PSN now.
I have a playstation so for me that's a no issue, but it IS annoying that you have to do Playstation related things on Steam too.

No? I can absolutely verify that I have *both* Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition *and* Horizon Zero Dawn: Remastered as separate games in my library. I can switch freely between the two, or have them both installed at once if I so choose.

that's 100% false

they're entirely separate games and two different entries in your steam library
